Spotable Raises 4 Million Euros To Take Roofers Out Of Excel And Onto AI Powered Quotes

The problem Spotable set out to solve is a stubbornly manual one. Roofers can spend an average of eight hours per project simply measuring buildings and preparing quotes, and Vandendriessche has said many quotes in the industry are still created in Excel, with tradespeople often needing to visit a potential project in person before they even know whether they stand a real chance of winning the work. That combination of manual measurement and uncertain conversion rates leaves contractors spending significant unpaid time on projects that may never materialise into paid work.

Spotable's platform addresses that gap by starting with nothing more than a building's address. Using geographic data combined with artificial intelligence, the system digitally measures the structure and produces a 3D representation without requiring a site visit. From that model, the platform calculates material quantities, links them to relevant products and pricing, generates a formal quote, and can support the process through to ordering, collapsing a workflow that traditionally required hours of manual measurement and spreadsheet work into a largely automated sequence.

The company has since broadened its ambitions beyond serving roofers in isolation. Spotable's platform now connects three sides of the construction supply chain: contractors, who use it to calculate requirements and prepare quotes; distributors, who can integrate their own product ranges and pricing directly into the platform; and manufacturers, who can make their products visible within a tradesperson's decision making process at the exact moment a quote is being built. That positions Spotable less as a point tool for one trade and more as a connective layer across the construction materials supply chain, a more defensible and scalable position than a single vertical quoting tool.

Vandendriessche has framed the company's early growth as evidence that an unglamorous starting point can support a much larger ambition. He has said that building software for roofers was not the obvious foundation for an international technology company eighteen months ago, and that this gap was precisely where Spotable saw its opportunity, giving contractors technology that is fast, reliable and easy to use in place of paperwork. Dumoulin, meanwhile, has spoken about the scale of the company's ambitions publicly, describing a goal of becoming a unicorn as quickly as possible and noting she is relocating to the United States for the next few years specifically to build that market, a comparatively bold posture for a Belgian founder in a startup culture that has traditionally leaned toward modesty.

With the new funding, Spotable plans to keep developing its product while accelerating its push into new geographies. Having established traction in Belgium and the Netherlands, the company is now targeting larger European construction markets, specifically France and Germany, where it intends to onboard additional construction companies and build out partnerships with local distributors and manufacturers rather than simply porting its existing product without local relationships in place.

The company's move into the United States is already under way in an early, exploratory form. Spotable has tested its technology at trade fairs and established its first commercial presence there, laying groundwork ahead of a fuller push. Entering the US construction technology market brings Spotable up against a far larger and more fragmented industry than its home markets, with regional building codes, supplier relationships and construction norms that vary significantly by state, a scaling challenge common to European construction tech companies attempting to replicate domestic success internationally. How quickly Spotable can convert its early trade show presence into a genuine customer base will likely determine whether its ambitions to become one of Ghent's next breakout technology companies extend meaningfully beyond Europe.
